1 Pedi-CSI: Pediatric Clinical Safety Investigation Through Virtual Patient Safety Rounds Training Manual Boston Children s Hospital Medicine Patient Services and Boston College William F. Connell School of Nursing, 1
2 Pedi-CSI (Clinical Safety Instruction) Patient Safety Teaching & Training Manual Purpose: This training manual accompanies the pediatric patient safety vignettes that can be found at It is to provide standardized patient safety curricular materials for use with nursing students who are beginning their inpatient pediatric clinical rotations and for RNs beginning to practice in pediatrics. It is designed to help participants detect patient safety errors and vulnerabilities while developing the necessary critical decision-making skills needed to advance a culture of patient safety. This program is ideal for students and nurses who are new to the hospital environment as it offers an opportunity for individuals to observe and experience patient care activities in a controlled, virtual setting. Studies have shown that adult learners recall information after 3 months at a higher percentage when they are shown and experience the learning material (65%) rather than simply being told the information (10%) (Whitmore, 2002). Through the use of this program, participants will not only learn critical elements of patient safety, but there is a higher likelihood that they retain the information longer. Program Description: This training program was developed as an outcome of an Academic-Practice Partnership between Boston Children s Hospital, Department of Medicine Patient Services, and Boston College s William F. Connell School of Nursing. It was designed to provide individuals teaching patient safety for or in new nurse orientation with a useful tool for communicating critical patient safety concepts in real patient care settings. This program consists of twelve vignettes of real patient care situations. Across the twelve vignettes, overt and subtle safety errors are staged. For each vignette there are two versions, the first is an unedited version of the scenario in the hospital setting. The second version follows immediately after the first and includes edits that identify the scripted safety risks. Program Development. The vignettes were developed in the following manner. 1) A development team was created and consisted of patient safety, curriculum, and media experts. 2) The safety risks to be depicted in the videos were then selected based on the Joint Commission s National Patient Safety Goals and the Joint Commission Standards ( The World Health Organization s (2011) WHO patient safety curriculum guide for medical schools ( was also used as a 2
3 primary reference. The hand hygiene guidelines are based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Hand Hygiene Guidelines and the 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene Campaign ( 3) Scenarios were scripted to embed a variety of safety errors that commonly occur in inpatient settings. 4) After filming and initial editing, the vignettes were shown to a panel of patient safety experts to identify both the errors in the original script as well as other errors the actors made. 5) Productions of the vignette with the safety errors identified then commenced. Vignettes and Patient Safety Risks are listed below: Virtual Rounds # Vignette Title Safety Risks in Vignette Virtual Rounds # 1 Fall Prevention Room cluttered with clothing and wires on floor Bedside table out of reach Bed in high position No hand hygiene by RN upon entering the room RN does not introduce self to patient RN does not verify patient identification before hanging IV medication No hand hygiene by RN prior to administering medication RN does not clean IV site with alcohol RN missed opportunity to educate patient about using call light Stretcher has side rail down IV pole with tubing too far away from patient Surge protector used to expand outlet capacity Patient with bare feet: risk of fall, injury, and contamination Virtual Rounds # 2 Alarm Fatigue Inappropriate conversation about a family while in a public space 3

These include but are not limited to: 1) an interactive component of a lecture or orientation program, 2) use in clinical post-conferences, 3) incorporated into online learning modules, or as 4) assigned as homework for later review in class. The tool included as Attachment A can be used for this purpose. Evidence of learning can be evaluated by conducting a pre- and posttest (verbally or written), written evaluation of problem solving and decision-making approaches related to patient safety, or measured through observation in simulation scenarios. Participants should be given the opportunity to view the unedited version and identify all of the safety risks that they observed, followed by the second vignette with the safety risks identified. The number and order in which the vignettes are shown is left to the instructor s discretion, however a critical learning element in this training is for trainees to have the ability to discuss each vignette, and ask and respond to questions. 11
12 This will allow the instructor to discuss local policies and procedures, which may be slightly different than what is shown in the videos.
